David F. Sandberg has urged haters to wait and see 'Shazam!' before criticising the DC Extended Universe movie.

The 36-year-old filmmaker will be helming the new superhero film, which has been penned by Henry Gayden and Darren Lemke, but although not much information is known about the film at the moment, Sandberg has warned fans against assuming what it will be like this early in the process.

On Twitter, Sandberg responded to fans who claimed that the movie would be inspired by DC's "New 52" version of the character and one went on to suggest to "steer clear of this movie till the DCEU gets a reboot.

Sandberg replied: "Not to stop you from having an opinion about something that doesn't exist yet, it's the internet after all, but as I designate a movie the obligatory Best/Worst Ever!!

"I find it helpful sometimes to have more info than a few characters names. Sometimes I'll even wait for a trailer of some sort if I really want to go crazy. (sic)"

It was recently announced that Zachary Levi will portray Billy Baston's adult superhero alter ego Captain Marvel, alongside Asher Angel as the teenage version.

'IT' star Jack Dylan Grazer and Grace Fulton will both also star in the movie as Billy's best friends and Mark Strong will take on the villain role.

'Shazam!' will focus on Billy, a boy who can transform into an adult superhero by uttering the magic word "Shazam".

The word is an acronym of the ancient world gods and historical figures: Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury.

Captain Marvel was created by C.C. Beck and writer Bill Parker back in 1939 and first appeared in Whiz Comics #2 a year later.

Captain Marvel's arch nemesis is the supervillain Black Adam, who will be played by Dwayne Johnson in a separate film which will build to a future big screen adventure in which they will both clash.

Recently, Johnson, 45, confirmed he was offered the opportunity to play both DC Comics characters, but decided to take on Black Adam because there's more depth to his backstory.

Singaporeans are noticing some unusual-looking names on PayNow after a new anti-scam measure took effect on June 6. The Association of Banks in Singapore has officially discontinued PayNow nicknames, replacing them with partially masked versions of users’ registered account names. The change aims to combat impersonation scams, where scammers could previously use PayNow nicknames to pose as trusted individuals or organisations. While the update enhances security, it has also led to some unintentionally funny name displays — including one Reddit user’s encounter with a PayNow recipient named “MX TAX HOXX SHIXX”. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #singapore #scam #sgtiktok

Singapore’s sambar deer were once believed to be on the brink of extinction, with conservationists estimating there may have been as few as three individuals left in the late 1990s. Today, the population has rebounded to around 120 deer across forested areas including Mandai, Gali Batu and Chestnut Nature Park. The remarkable recovery has led to new discussions about wildlife management, as the species has no natural predators in Singapore and its numbers continue to grow. Often called the “ghosts of the forest” due to their elusive nature, sambar deer remain one of Singapore’s least-seen wild animals despite being the world’s third-largest deer species. According to conservationists and wildlife researchers, the challenge is no longer preventing extinction — but ensuring long-term coexistence between humans and a growing deer population. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #singapore #sgtiktok #endangeredspecies
